don't know why i'm thinking about this, but when bethenny frankel got married in the middle of her -- >> that's what you are compared the inauguration to. when bethenny frankel got married. oh, my god. oh, my god. i need alcohol. >> no, but this is important because i actually never forgot it, and this works in life. she stopped the vows in the middle and said i just want to look around for a second because sometimes you're so rushed in life you don't take a second and think about it. >> i wasn't comparing, i was just bringing up a moment they remembered that struck me. >> wow. >> a couple of things i love too. >> i'm having trouble -- i think i'm not going to be able to talk. this is awful. >> the drink? >> tell you in a minute. but go ahead. >> wait. what is this drink? >> it's a flu drink, but there's something terrible in that. something very -- what's in that? is that kerosene? what is in that? >> oh, my god. >> is that kerosene? that is awful. >> drink the water. >> i did drink the water. okay. >> one of my favorite moments -- i loved all the singing. i loved the music. >> oh, i loved james taylor.

and it's coming back in. it will be a bigger storm that moves across the country later in the week. which you'll see here in just a moment. 8 that's as warm as we'll get today in the twin cities. 25 in chicago. 20s and teens in the northeast way below average. we're going to stay below freezing here right on into early next week. 52 in atlanta, 64 in denver, mild air across front range. westerly wind coming in. 59 in albuquerque, still warm in southern california and across arizona. that's the place to go to beat the cold air this time of year. rain will start to make its way into the southern part of california by thursday. that's going to cool things off just a bit. and we'll see the cold air make its way all the way into the mid south. so on thursday we're only at freezing in louisville 52 in atlanta but 70s down here the farther south you get. as far as the snow goes, friday may see some snow around louisville. even in the chicago area

thursday night into friday. eventually moving into the northeast by saturday morning. atlanta looking chilly with rain in the forecast by friday and clearing out on saturday. more lake effects here and another big storm starts to organize in the west. you can get the very latest on the storms and your daily forecast week day mornings wake up with al at 5:30.
